His book "Greed" is a series of essays which propose that American social order is in danger because of the rise of inequality and a culture of greed and selfishness. He deplores this state of affairs and explores the philosophical and economic processes that he says have contributed to such conditions as now exist, based largely on current life in the United States of America.
Dr. Edney is a critic of the philosophy and works of
Ayn Rand [http://www.onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_448.shtml OnLine Journal "Culture of corruption: the legacy of Ayn Rand"] . He argues that the corrosive effects of her ideas persist long after her death in the political and moral failures of today's society.References
